GOSSIP:	Will replace Jim Broadbent playing Wilbur Turnblad in Adam Shankman's HAIRSPRAY for New Line Cinema. (August 18, 2006) Denies rumors that he is preparing to run for U.S. president. (August 20, 2005) Planted his hand and footprints in the cement outside the famed Grauman's Chinese Theatre in 2004. Walken has picked his post STEPFORD WIVES project, drama AROUND THE BEND, which has been described as a cross between IN THE BEDROOM and ROAD TO PERDITION. (June 21, 2003) Walken has confessed to not researching his role in Steven Spielberg's CATCH ME IF YOU CAN - he insists he had little prior knowledge of the story, a real life account of the life of conman Frank Abagnale Jr., but Walken is convinced his performance wasn't impaired by his reluctance to prepare for his part as Frank Abagnale Sr., the father of DiCaprio's conman. (January 8, 2003) Walken and Nick Nolte were both considered for Harrison Ford’s role as Han Solo in STAR WARS. Is amazed that so many people do imitations of him. Famous actors such as Kevin Spacey at the Oscars, as well as his old friends, enjoy speaking in the screen legend's well-known tones. Walken began his career on the musical stage, appearing in Best Foot Forward. He continued to work in musicals until he was cast as King Phillip in the Broadway production of THE LION IN WINTER, for which he received the Clarence Derwent Award. For his role in BATMAN RETURNS (1992) he, remembering a film he'd seen earlier, requested from director Tim Burton Tim' cuff-links made of human molars. He got them, and wore them in the film as the villain, Max Shreck. Achieved the withdrawn, hollow look of his character in THE DEER HUNTER (1978) by eating nothing but rice and bananas. Says the role of Vanni Corso in A BUSINESS AFFAIR (1994) is more like himself than any other character he's ever played. As the Headless Horseman, his character has no speaking lines, aside from a couple of HAAs to his horse and shhhh. Considered for the role of Han Solo in STAR WARS (1977). He often talked about SLEEPY HOLLOW as his first movie with a kissing scene. But he already had one in THE DEAD ZONE (1983) Playing the Headless Horseman in THE SLEEPY HOLLOW (2001), he played a schoolteacher in THE DEAD ZONE (1983), in the beginning of which he tells his class to read The Legend of Sleepy Hollow.
